I would like to start planing a trip to Mexico's Yucatan/Quintana Roo region and would like to find others interested in doing this trip.
I would like to meet in the Mission/McAllen Texas area and leave from there. I would like to visit Chichenitza, Cancun, Isla Mujeres, Cozumel and Tulum. Maybe even go into Belize.
I have been to the Mexico areas I mentioned but flew there, traveled by car and stayed in hotels. But this time I want to RV. I did visit some of the RV parks to check them out. So I am familiar with some of them.
I speak Fluent Spanish and English. I can make all the arrangement/reservations for our stops.
Anyone interested? We can start planning the Trip!
One more suggestion for you: I would give really careful consideration to going on your own and NOT tying yourself to anyone else. There are so many pitfalls in this: You may regret it way before the end of the trip and if there are disagreements and or trouble it may cast a pall over the rest of your trip.
You will find plenty of people on your way, Rv'ers, other tourists, and expats. You will find it harder to get away from company than to find it. In almost every place you stop there will be people there going your way that you can travel with for short or longer distances and some coming back from your destination who can offer really local and up to the minute advice on the route you are about to travel.
JUST GO! When you travel with others you tend to create a self sustaining entity which makes it tougher to get closer to the local people and follow your own path.
This advice comes from one who has traveled to over 40 countries, lived and worked in countries as diverse as Egypt, China, Vietnam, Sierra Leone, England, France, Switzerland and others.
Have a good time and please keep us posted on your preparations and progress.
